First sunny day with 50%-ish humidity after two weeks. Opportunity to do some topcoating and finishing touches on this ‘Cat. More photos as soon as the topcoat is fully cured.

WIP: last year, I bought a built MG Char’s Zaku II 2.0 but had to shelf it because it just didn’t work with the rest of my MG OYW display. Figured I’d convert it into a Borjarnon instead. Modded an excess pilot figure from my MG Re-GZ (very difficult to carve a face at that scale). #gunpla #wip

Next build! #gunpla #gundamzeta #zetagundam #zetagundamverka

MG Cow + ∀ Gundam: another one for the display shelf. Kit needed no color correction apart from the ∀ markings. Minimal seam line removal at the head and beam rifle. This is the second kit I finished without panel liners - just semi-dry oil paint gunk wash after the 1st topcoat. #gunpla #turnagundam

WIP: Second kit with absolutely zero panel liner used. All the panel lines here are done with oil paint semi-dry gunk wash. Took a lot of trial and error before I came up with a much less messy (and paint-consuming) version of the more popular slap-chop method. #gunpla #turnagundam #gundam

My OYW display, finally finished. 2 1/2 years in the making. I didn’t include the Zeong because I plan to have the RG (with the 2.0) in a separate display. The Gouf was supposed to be part of a desert display but I don’t have the space for it anymore. #gunpla #gundam0079 #gundam

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. Not a fan of clear kits in the first place and it was an impulse buy because (heh) I like Balls. This is the TGB mechanical clear ver, detailed the inner frame, then just applied decals and clear coat on the outer parts. #gundam #mgball #gunpla

RG ν Gundam RX-93-1 [test type]. I posted an earlier attempt on an EG kit about a year ago and it was…okay. This one looks closer to the line art. #gunpla #realgrade #nugundam #gundam #anaheimelectronics

EG ʋ Gundam + BL fin funnels and bazooka. I wanted a ʋ Gundam that’s anime-accurate so went with the EG. Bandai announced the option parts set months after I’ve already bought the BL ‘funnels, unfortunately. #nugundam #gunpla #gundam #charscounterattack #amuroray

I will never understand why Gundam The Origin ever only had one MG kit. They could have at least included this core fighter with the grampa MG. #gundam #gundamtheorigin

The MG Gundam RX-178 MK-II 2.0 hold up well (mostly) but I don’t like how it needs to be lit at certain angles to get the right glowing eye effect. A Ver Ka is long overdue. #gundam #gunpla #gundammkii #zetagundam

Just a couple of details from my nearly-complete One Year War display: some grunt-on-grunt action. #gunpla #gundam #zaku #zakuii #mobilepodball

“This is no Zaku, boy.” — Ramba Ral #gunpla #gundam #gouf #rambaral

I’m on the fence whether or not I should install decals on this guy. #turnagundam #gunpla #gundam

HG Rick Dom. Done with weathering, final topcoat, and metallics. I just need to finish doing the same to two more Zeon kits before I can finish my One Year War display, which has been an ongoing project for more than a year now. #gunpla #gundam #rickdom #zeon

HGUC Zaku II Revive. Took me a while to apply weathering (“a while” being over a year) and final topcoat, but here it is. As with my other OYW kits, this will be part of a diorama, which I hope to finish by next year. #zakuii #gunpla #gundamstagram #gundam #zeon

I’ve always wanted a grampa kit that has modern proportions but resembles the original lineart, so I figured I’d mod an HGUC Revive kit. After seam and panel line removal, major hip modification, hands from a Gouf Custom and a Zaku I (among others), here it is. #gunpla #gundam #rx78

I’m trying to decide which one to bulld next. No idea if bsky has polls but, I guess comments will do. The Ball is the clear type and the inner frame details will be detailed. #gundam #gunpla #verka #ballverka #rx782verka

Recently got me a Daban EG Nu Gundam kit just for the fin funnels, which I planned to include with my Bandai EG. Painted the main kit to match the “test ver.” colorway from the Master Archive Mobilesuit mook as a quick weekend build. #gunpla #gundam #nugundam #charscounterattack

Building the inner frame first was suprisingly efficient. Took just about three days from initial build to hand-painting details. Used to take me weeks painting individual parts before building. #gunpla #gundam #mastergrade #jegan #charscounterattack

Ok, let’s do this. #gunpla #gundam #jegan #charscounterattack

Another one done — MG Gundam MKII 2.0. This is going to a part of a Zeta Gundam trio display. Seated pilot figure is Emma Sheen, standing pilot is Kamille Bidan. #gunpla #gundamzeta #gundammkii

MG Re-GZ (2019 kit) done. It’s the PB Unicorn version, but I painted the red parts to make it the CCA one (I know, I know, there’s a TGBL version). Not my favorite kit — difficult to pose, the hand parts keep falling out, and the torso keeps leaning to the right. #gunpla #regz #gundam #cca

Finally, the show-accurate White Base trio in Master Grade format. #gundam #gundam0079 #guncannon #guntank #amuroray #kaishiden #hayatokobayashi #gunpla #mastergrade

Taking time off work and resuming some reading. Sandman Mystery Theatre is one of the best titles published under Vertigo, and the confirmation of a second compendium made the wait worth it. I’d upgrade if DC decides to publish omnibuses. #sandmanmysterytheatre #goldenagesandman #wesleydodds

Got days of unexpected downtime at work, figured I’d tackle my 2019 MG Re-GZ, all 28 runners of it. I could get the Gundam Base exclusive Char’s Counterattack version but I figured I’d just save myself half the cost, get this instead, and just paint the H runner red. #gunpla #regz #gundam #cca

Today’s mail call! Finally nabbed one of my whales. #gunpla #gundam #guntank #gundam0079 #mastergrade #hayatokobayashi #ryujose

Behold! Took my chance on a Japan-based seller with few reviews, since the list price happened to be close to SRP. Lucked out on a first pressing (red Bandai logo, 11/2015 runner date). Some parts are knocked off the runner but nothing damaged or missing. #gundam #gunpla #gundamtheorigin

Because #DaredevilBornAgain goes live later today… (DD by Zdarsky vol. 2 is still en route) #daredevil #marvelcomics

Catching up with my decal backlog: Do-Dai Kai with Karaba Air Force decals. HGUC revive Hyaku Shiki for scale. Planning on clearing all the decal/weathering backlogs first before starting a new build. #zetagundam #gundam #gunpla #dodaikai #hyakushiki
